A FROGGY POTTY, AND MICKEY MOUSE TOO

Saturday, April 6, 2013

Potty Training Prep work (we will start on the 9th)

We bought some Disney training undies and some multi colored boys fruit of the looms to start with, I am still deciding if I will purchase pull ups at all. right now I am thinking I won't get them since I will be home all day anyway. We may as well and let accidents happen so he learns he doesn't like the feel of wet mickey mouse briefs too much . Thankfully we have an awesome Bissell steam machine, I have a feeling I will be using it a in the coming weeks (besides my couch and ottoman need a pretty deep cleaning as well.)

I think I looked at more potty chairs than I did floor plans when building our house. I finally decided on the fisher price froggy potty chair for several reason, he LOVES frogs, it is supposed to be good as a splash guard for boys, it seems like it would be easily cleaned, and it was inexpensive. If this potty works well enough I will buy a couple more. I want one in the master bath, in the living room and at my parent's house so it was pretty important to find a potty that we liked but also was inexpensive enough to purchase several if it worked out... if this is "not the potty for us" then I will purchase another one and try it out and go from there.... I don't remember the girl's being picky about potty chairs but I hear boys are a little more picky...

daddy went today to pick up the items needed for a potty chart or two, toy prizes, stickers, M&M's, skittles, animal crackers and jelly beans. I think we may add some Popsicles.

I will put together a "potty basket" with his favorite books, DVDs and toys that he will now only be able to use when he is sitting on his potty. For now I think the potty will just go from room to room with us (I want it VERY close by at all times, with my mobility problems at times it isn't a good idea to have to climb over baby gates to get to the potty if ya know what I mean. Once I know this potty is a good fit as I said I will order a few more so we have them where needed.

I would welcome any suggestions or ideas on what worked or you, any apps for phone or tablet, DVDs, books, reward system things like that....

Hi, my name is Kimberlee,I'm a stay at home mommy with kids ranging in age from 5 to 26 (yep, you read that right! My oldest two kids are in their mid twenties,and my youngest is still in preschool) I'm a proud Texan,now living in small town Tennessee.
I am chronically ill,due to various auto immune and auto inflammatory diseases, including Adult Onset Stills Disease (AOSD) which is a very rare AI disease, effecting less than 1 in a million (0.00006% of the population actually) My husband is my rock...my best friend and my caretaker (when needed) he is also my biggest "kid" much of the time.
I spend my "free time" cooking,baking,taking care of my chickens,trying to find a new "hobby", and doing what I can to help others come to terms with a chronic diagnosis.
My youngest kiddo has sensory processing disorder, between his SPD and my AOSD things can get pretty crazy around here...fun....but hectic, always something going on as we navigate our love of "critters" of all kinds, our medical "stuff", being a preschool mommy while going through"the change", and trying to fit in here in our new life away from "home"
Pull up a seat and join me as I navigate life and all it throws at me every day with a sense of humor, refusing to take myself seriously. Life has gotten messy,but it is one heck of a ride
